FAQ / Board Issues / Board changes

« on: March 17, 2009, 09:55:31 pm »

Ok, we've gone to SMF.  The mass of spam signups has necessitated doing something beyond phpBB2.  A bunch of modifications aren't in place, and we're considering going to SMF2 from here, but haven't finalized that as of yet.  Until then, it'll be a bit lean on the mods, but will work for now.

FAQ / Board Issues / Forum emails, and you!

« on: August 28, 2007, 05:24:29 pm »

Periodically, the forum will send you email, under certain specific conditions.  These are not spams.

New Private Messages
New replys to a topic you've got watched
Very rare administrative email alerts sent to everyone

Please do not report messages from the forum as spam.  Reporting them as such makes my life difficult as now I have to deal with your ISP to get the board unblocked, so the other people on your ISP who are on the board and would like to get them, can.

Each message from the forum will contain a link to disable that topic watch, or a link to the PM causing it.

If you with to not receive these messages, just click up at Profile (above) and choose 'No' to the following two choices: "Always notify me of replies:" and "Notify on new Private Message:".  You can still get topic notifications on a per-topic basis by checking a box when replying with this option off.

Thank you.

FAQ / Board Issues / Board updates

I just updated the board to the current phpBB codebase, if anything doesn't work, lemme know, and if a feature scampered off and disappeared, lemme know as well, so I can hunt it down and bring it back.  Thanks,

FAQ / Board Issues / Server Maintenance (28Sep05 3:30AM-5:00AM PST (-0700))

This server will be going down for about  on 90mins on the above date to do some significant disk rearrangement.  I'm pulling the existing mirrors and installing a pair of 250GB SATA drives to completely mirror the entire system.  However, this will take a little bit of time to install the new drives, resync the disks and verify operation.

[Edit: shrunk window as I have most of the mirror in place already, I just need to sync up 12 hours of changes and install the new drives]
